Oralee once said to clean a house you needed an apron with pockets. That caused a pause in my thinking. A “pocket”? Why is a pocket essential for cleaning a house?

Living is messy and cluttered. The clutter has to be removed to make contact with the sink, floor, countertops – whatever. This is where those big side pockets come in.

Polly… do you remember the criteria for Oralee vacuuming your room? She has to be able to see the carpet.

Messiness may happen in the process, but by elimination, it has no place in the finished product.
Lord take away the clutter in my life and clean my heart. get rid of anything in the way of that cleaning.
